The history was responsive to needs and easy to reach before and during our trip. The house had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We only had to bring our own food and personal toiletries. The view was amazing and exactly as expected from the photos provided. The area was secluded and quiet, which made for a much needed peaceful weekend.

Warm and cozy, plenty of room to be comfortable with a large dog. Amazing views as always! A home away from home with allThe conveniences. Wanted to hike the trails, but my dog wasn’t a fan of of the deeper snow, despite his long legs. Having stayed here in the summer, I know the woods and trails would have been beautiful.

The view from this house was so beautiful. I loved waking up and watching the sun rise. Our dogs had a blast on the property playing frisbee and walking the trails. We had a fire in the wood burning stove, it was so cozy.

The cottage was very quiet. The view was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the deer in the field in the morning and evening. Wellsville is only 12 minutes away so we could still make a quick trip into town if needed. We would definitely like to come back in the future.

Quaint and quiet....perfect little hideaway

What a perfect place. Secluded, beautiful and cozy. Tucked away from everything. Only you and nature all around. We enjoyed everything about it. Shopping is only about a 15 minute drive, so not too far away, but far enough. The owner is very sweet and quick to respond and is helpful. Look forward to going back and would recommend to anyone who needs to regroup from the craziness of city life.
